Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 16: Eating shit like candy

Tang Yue’s cold piercing eyes looked at the smelly gooey stuff in her hands and sighed.

She then quickly dunked it down her throat, worried that the stink might spread.

The bland taste and the weird smell quickly permeated her entire body and assaulted all her senses without leaving any route for escape.

Cough… Cough… Yuck.

Tang Yue could even feel the damned thing hitting her non-existent belly and cringed.

But… it was all worth it.

As soon as the goo settled in her stomach, the digestive juices began to do their work and the sweet notification sounds popped up one after the other.

Ding. A poisonous object has been consumed.

Ding. Poison Resistance has increased.

Ding. A poisonous object has been consumed.

Ding. Poison Resistance has increased.

Unexpectedly, the next notification that popped out caused Tang Yue’s phoenix-like eyes to bulge in surprise.

Ding. A fire attribute object has been consumed.

Ding. Heat resistance has increased.

A wide variety of mysterious herbs existed in nature, some that could even condense mana, which enriched the air around them.

So it was not really a surprise to her that some of them had a fire attribute.

What was shocking is that she was actually able to absorb that property as well and temper her fragile crippled body.

And the even more shocking realization soon followed.

Was it also possible to increase her body’s regenerative properties?

If so, then there in laid the solution to her crippled meridians!!

Tang Yue’s crescent eyes gleamed with excitement, as she started quickly gobbling up chunk after chunk of that mushy smell mass.

Ding. A poisonous object has been consumed.

Ding. Poison Resistance has increased.

Ding. A fire attribute object has been consumed.

Ding. Heat resistance has increased.

Ding. An ice attribute object has been consumed.

Ding. Cold resistance has increased.

Ding. A lightning attribute object has been consumed.

Ding. Lightning resistance has increased.

Several different types of notifications sounded one after the other, as Tang Yue sat down in her chamber and gulped mouthful after mouthful of indistinguishable sludge until her stomach was bulging out.

After a few minutes, she even shape-shifted into her snake form and peeked into the space pouch to lazily slurp and swallow the heaped leftovers.

As she swallowed more and more chunks, the notifications actually slowed down, rather than speeding up as she had expected.

In fact, by now, barely one notification sounded every hour.

“Hmmm… Maybe because the potency of the mush is low grade now after so many upgrades?”

But that didn’t seem correct since she still heard notifications popping, even when she was not eating things.

So this left her with only one explanation.

Maybe the absorption of these properties depended on the digestive ability of her body!

If so, maybe she should start training in martial arts to improve this digestive ability?

Even though there were obvious drawbacks, especially for a cripple like her, this type of cultivation was not too bad at all!

All she had to do was be a shameless glutton and be generously rewarded!

The blue serpent’s long tongue flickered in and out as Tang Yue finished most of the day’s leftovers.

After a few more minutes, she could barely ingest anything even in her snake form and so she decided to continue her arduous cultivation the next day.

“This should also give me enough time to digest all this ‘nutritious food'” The snake hissed contently.

Tang Yue was pretty tired from running around the alchemy association all day.

And this, coupled with the fact that her stomach was bulging enough to create a protrusion, she quickly fell asleep like a corpse.

Though the notifications did not pop out in her mind because of her slumbering state, her body was constantly improving throughout the darkness of the night.

In the morning as well, her stomach felt quite full.

So she decided that it would be best to resume her special cultivation later during the night, same as yesterday.

But there was something that she really had to do right now – check her stats!

After listening to a lot of random notifications that sporadically popped out during the entire night, Tang Yue was very curious as to what her current body constitution looked like.

As soon as she willed it to appear, a blue screen with various details materialized in front of her.
